I hope everyone has had a fantastic summer and that the new school year has started smoothly. With the start of the school year also comes time to register for footy.
The season starts on Sunday April 30th for all ages and it promises to will be a huge year.
Kids from Kindy to Year 2 should register in our Auskick program. This is designed to introduce the kids to the skills of Australian rules football in a fun environment on Sunday mornings. The sessions are conducted at Melvista Oval in Nedlands (next to the golf course) and run from 9am to 10.15am from April 30 until the middle of August. A typical session runs includes some skill excercises, and a modified (non contact) and inclusive game amongst their year group. We will also organise some matches against other Auskick clubs during the year.
This year, the Year 3’s will participate in a full home and away season. They play under modified rules where there is limited tackling and a focus on ball handling and movement. Year 3’s can enter in the “Auskick” registration link.
We will field full Year 4, 5 and 6 teams this year in our Junior club and would love to see all our players back from last year’s teams, and we also welcome any new enrollments.
We will enter teams in The Year 7 and Year 9 competitions as “Western Tigers” teams which is a joint venture with our neighboring club Subiaco. These age groups play on the larger ovals with a premiership table and finals.
There is so much to look forward to at the footy club this year, not to mention the great opportunity to play with your friends from your own area.
The countdown to the bounce down has begun!!!!!!!!
